I’m Back again!
February 7, 2010
It’s been so long since I blogged here, I can’t believe it. I’ve been slacking at my day job that long too and maybe even a little at home (I definitely let some of the chores slide!
So, in addition to Celiac disease I’ve come up with a handful of new ailments (since September), that’s my excuse for the lack of activity on my part
One new factor: PCOS. Oh the pain, the funny patches of hair, the weight gain despite gastro issues and the blood! Finally, the blood convinced my Dr. to refer me to gynocology and the OBGYN immediately diagnosed me with PCOS and put me on the pill. Immediate improvements in the blood and weight departments, but I’m still experiencing digestive issues and the patches of hair are still sprouting from time to time.
What’s a girl to do? My Dr. doesn’t want to do anything else with me except suggest Metamucil (which bloats me badly by the way) and tell me I have IBS and need to control my stress. Ha ha hardy har. I’m stressed because I have constant gastro issues that I haven’t been able to solve on my own through various elimination diets. I need some help, not the voo doo I’m dealing with right now.
Anyway, I’m back. Glad that Starbuck’s is stocking gluten free cookies and Kind bars so I can get a little something with my latte again. Glad that Walmart started stocking Betty Crocker gluten free brownie mixes. And glad that more companies are discovering the benefit of labeling their products more effectively for those of us concerned with our tummies!
I’m doing research on my symptoms tonight, maybe I’ll find new options to try. Wish me luck.
